Prologue: The Beginning
Darkness. Complete darkness. There were others around them. Someone was in the middle of this darkness, floating in this never-ending abyss. A feminine voice talking to them, calling them her children, but whoever it was never called the one in the middle that. They hissed at them calling them a hateful child. Why is she calling them that? What had they done? Were they not just created? No, this one was not created like them they were born, but why hate someone born from yourself?
Someone was screaming, anguish filled screams in the darkness. Why were they screaming? There was no time here so they did not know how long it was when there was suddenly an explosion of different colored lights so bright that if they had eyes it would have blinded them. They could feel the light die down, but suddenly they had eyes and they could see! They found it unusual, but what a wonderful sight they beheld.
All the colors and life on a small planet it was so blue and green. They looked down at themselves to see that they now had a body and they were moving towards that blue and green planet except for the one in the middle.
They looked towards that spot their presence flowing around them and it was now that they realized it was a female. They were all looking at her. She was unconscious and she had something leaking out of her eyes as she lay there floating above that planet. Ah, so she was the one screaming. Did that mean she created that beautiful planet? Was it part of herself? The all moved towards her.
Eight pairs of eyes, glowing in the darkness, snapped open. One of them screamed till their throat was raw.
